What benefits are available for someone living with a brain tumour?

Even if you don't think of yourself as having a disability, you may be eligible for financial support if you're living with a low or high grade brain tumour.

Many of the symptoms and side-effects caused by brain tumours and some treatments can make it much more difficult to work. It's common for people with a brain tumour diagnosis to reduce the amount they work or stop working all together. Often this is only necessary for a short period of time but sometimes living with a brain tumour means never returning to full-time work.

Am I eligible for financial support?

The benefits you are entitled to will depend on your circumstances. You may be able to claim more than one type of benefit at the same time - for example, PIP and ESA.

If you're not sure what you're entitled to, why not book a free appointment for our benefits phone clinic?

We've partnered with Rushmoor Citizens Advice to offer specialist benefits advice and assistance to people affected by brain tumours. Our experienced benefits advisors can answer your questions about claiming benefits and help explain what financial support you may be eligible for.

They can also assist with:
